Crawford River
Riesling
Henty, Western Victoria, Victoria, Australia
See previous Delectable Notes 134 weeks ago and 114 weeks ago where I said have the last bottle when 10 years old ie in 2023. A touch of paraffin creeping into the nose. White florals, ripe mandarin, silky texture - almost unctuous, low acid. Hint of peach. The word for this Riesling is Rich. A beautiful Riesling, probably at its peak.

This has matured beautifully over the years. White flowers and stone fruit with nuances of honey. The nose of an off dry Riesling but definitely dry at 13% ABV. Peachy stone fruit medium weight flavours - low acid with excellent length. A luscious dry Riesling drinking at its peak. One of Australia’s better Rieslings. Tasted again 20 weeks later on 16th December 2020 with consistent notes. Really a wonderful Riesling without a hint of kerosene. Have the last one in 2023 when 10 years old.

Lemon in colour. Floral aromas. Very youthful on the palate. Acid floods over the sides and back of the tongue. From a region I don’t have much experience with as in Henty on the southwestern coast of Victoria. A faint paraffin smell which will turn into Kerosene aromas in years to come. In the Excellent category at the recent Langtons Classification Tasting.

Beautiful strong aromatics. Smooth and rounded flavours. A good hint of that volcanic soil out at their vineyard. This is Australian wine showing off.
